Health Professionals in North Carolina

Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods. You've tried so many diets but dieting only leads you to binge because you have constant hunger and sugar cravings. You love the idea of intuitive eating and letting go of dieting but you're not sure what that looks like when you're trying to manage PCOS.

Do you have a health challenge that you've struggled to overcome...even with medical help? Sometimes it seems like achieving great digestion, hormone balance, and high energy may be impossible to achieve...and that prospect can be daunting. As a Dietitian Nutritionist with additional expertise in Functional Medicine, I approach healthcare differently. I find and address root causes, provide individualized, realistic plans, and support you along your journey. The result is healthcare actually makes you healthier.

If you haven’t been successful in resolving your internal condition with conventional or alternative medicine and searching for a more advanced treatment, this is the right place. I specialize in advanced “natural” alternative treatment for internal chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, inflammations, allergies, immune issues, hormonal balance, digestive, respiratory, and gynecological conditions. My advanced Japanese style acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms, but also strengthens vital organs, builds immune system, and restores balance. Each treatment is profound, activating the body to heal within.

My passion in life is to share "Wellness G.I.F.T.S." ie. to "Give Inspiration For The Soul." If you are not feeling well because of fatigue, stress, food allergies, digestive issues, thyroid/adrenal imbalances, or physical injuries then Naturopathic Medicine may be just what you need. This system of medicine looks at the core of your health issues. My tools include lab testing, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, physical medicine, homeopathy, and life counseling. I value education as key and strive hard to inspire and empower you to achieve your optimal health and happiness.

Smart healthcare and results are my passion! Using a body constitution approach, I tailor treatments for nerve and joint pain, gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders. Knowing your particular body constitution is vital since your treatment could be completely different from someone else even if you have the exact same symptoms and diagnosis. What you eat is also very important so you know how to maintain the treatments you receive from me. As part of my care, every patient receives comprehensive dietary and lifestyle activities counseling.

I believe that your body has the innate ability to heal itself. My healthcare approach, founded on the principles of naturopathic medicine, is to support and restore these inherent systems of healing when they have broken down - allowing your body to return to "true health." Patient-centered care is the cornerstone of any comprehensive and holistic health program. When your body works the way nature intended, your spirit soars--and so do you. As a Naturopath I blend knowledge of conventional medical techniques and clinical training with natural, non-invasive systems of medicine to bring about body balance and wellness.

It's time for you to start feeling good again. Our dietitians use a functional and integrative approach to identify nutritional imbalances and deficiencies that are interacting with your health. By identifying the root causes, we can treat, reverse and prevent chronic diseases rather than just putting a band aid on the problem. We offer cutting edge nutrition interventions like Nutragenomic testing, micronutrient testing, metabolism testing, and food sensitivity testing, and Gut microbiome testing. You will get solutions that go well beyond general nutrition information as we help put the puzzle pieces together.

Are you seeking pain relief? My office offers short term pain relief care. I believe in releasing my patients when they are out of pain. I do not push/sell unnecessary long term treatment programs to our patients or pre pay plans where the patient pays up front for treatments. I continue my education through The American College of Sports Medicine, Harvard Medical School and The Spine Research Institute of San Diego. I am a sworn expert witness in chiropractic medicine in North Carolina and Wake County courts. My curriculum vitae is available online at: https://www.carolinachirocare.com/us/

I have twenty two years of experience in private practice and have ten years of teaching experience at Daoist Traditions, Asheville and the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Houston, Texas.

There is a lot of nutrition misinformation available and I want to provide evidence-based nutrition to debunk diet culture myths and help clients heal their relationship with food.
